He walks me into the middle of the oval where I sit down but he remains standing.
"Will you sit down? You're making me nervous" I pull him down next to me
"Sorry" he almost whispers
He looks down in front of him, his eyes fixed on the ground as he fiddles with a small strand of grass that he picked. Minutes go by and no one has said anything.
"I wasn't aware you wanted to bring me out here and sit in complete silence" I say standing up and walking off
"Lara wait! I- I'm sorry it's just I don't know how to begin what I'm about to say to you" he runs after me, I turn back around a fold my arms gently across my chest
"I just... I really... I um... Lara I-i, um" he stutters
"It's fine Chris just tell me another time"
I turn back around and begins to walk off.
**CHRIS'S POV**
She starts to walk off again but I grab her hand and pull her so she is facing me. Before she could say anything I crash our lips together. To say that fireworks are exploding in my stomach right now would be the understatement of the century.
I slip her hands into mine as our lips are moving perfectly in sync. The outline of her lips fitting perfectly on the outline of mine.
The moment ends with her pushing me away.
"Why did you do that? You have a girlfriend Chris!"
"I know! But-" she cuts me off
"Why would you kiss me?" She asks
"Let me explain. Please sit down" I reach out my hand so she can take it but instead she just stares at it with hurt lingering in her eyes
**LARA'S POV**
I stare at his hands. The hands that once held hers, the eyes that once looked deeply into hers, the voice that once would be her favourite thing to hear, the touch that once used to be her favourite thing to feel, the lips that once connected with hers...
"I'm sorry" I say with a tear slowly escaping from my eye. I turn around and walk away, blocking out his voice that is desperately trying to catch my attention.
It's the end of the day so I decide to go to Chelsea's house.

"Chelsea!" I shout out
"Lara? Are you okay?" Ethan emerges from the kitchen
"Yeah, fine.. Is Chelsea home?" I ask planting a fake smile across my face
"Not yet. But you can come hang with Jake and I if you want until she's back" he asks sweetly. I can't say no to that cheeky smile.
"Jakob, this is Lara. Lara this is Jakob" Ethan introduces us
"Chris's best friend right?" Those words hit me right in the gut
"Yep. And your Chelsea's boyfriend she non stop talks about" I wink and he blushes a bright red
"So um, I need some advice?" I sit down on Ethan's bed
"Okay, go ahead" Jakob replies
"Well, there's this guy that I like and I don't know if he feels the same way"
"Who is he?" Ethan asks
"I can't tell you" I reply looking down (comment if you know what this is off)
"Okay, why don't, you know, just tell him how you feel?" Jakob says sitting down across from me
"But how?"
